Feed Sync & Management

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

maybe add an option that lets one randomize the fetching of each feed, since if all of them are fetched at the same time, it might allow fingerprinting (10 rss feeds are probably already more than enough to be unique)

Describe the solution you'd like
